In 2023, the world witnessed 40% increase in conflicts since 2020. ThePrint looks at some of the most intense conflicts raging across the world, with help of maps & historical context.
US military said the weapons were prepared to launch and were over Red Sea when they were identified as an imminent threat to commercial shipping and US Navy ships in the region.
Houthis say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians and have threatened to expand attacks to include US ships in response to American and British strikes on the group's positions.
With Red Sea, critical to enter and exit Suez Canal, under attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, exporters are having to pay more than double to send goods to Middle East, Europe & US.
Houthi missile attack in the Red Sea holds out an important lesson for the West: Efforts to keep the Israel-Palestine crisis contained to Gaza are unlikely to succeed.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen intercepted a ballistic missile and 10 bomb-laden drones, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
The Emiratis prevented Iranian-backed rebels, Houthis, from capturing Yemen's south during the civil war. Now, Houthis may have ended UAE's hopes of a return to business as usual.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are talking—but it might be too late to put the war-making djinn back in the bottle. Power-brokers in Yemen depend on violence to secure influence.
Six others were also injured in the rare attack inside the UAE that caused a fire at Abu Dhabi’s main international airport and set fuel tanks ablaze in a nearby industrial area.
IOC, BPCL, and HPCL have lost about Rs 20,000 crore due to the fuel price freeze. These losses will accumulate on balance sheets, raise borrowing costs, and circle back to the govt as contingent liabilities.
Report on impact of AI emergence—drawing upon depositions from several ministries—confirms that the developments come in the absence of AI laws or considerations over them.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
